One month to the day after its release, my newest book Surviving: Finding Hope After Su***de Loss (Familius Books) just received this incredible review from Midwest Book Review, and I'm honestly speechless.
As someone who wrote this book from the perspective of a daughter, a survivor, a crisis counselor, and a human being just trying to make sense of an unimaginable kind of loss, seeing words like this means more than I can explain.
Midwest Book Review called Surviving:
“Exceptionally well written, organized and presented…”
“A critically important and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, and college/university library collections on the subject of coping with su***de based grief, loss, depression, and all the forms that emotional stress can take on the mind and body.”
“An essential read for survivors, mental health advocates, and anyone touched by the ripple effects of su***de.”
"Informative, insightful, exceptional, it should be noted for psychology/counseling students, academia, pastors/ministers/priests, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject of how su***de impacts others, be they family or friends."
They also highlighted what mattered most to me while writing this book: That Surviving isn’t clinical. It’s personal. It’s practical. And it was written to help people feel less alone.
So, thank you to everyone who's uplifted Surviving so far, your encouragement is helping this resource reach the people who need it most. And I couldn't be more grateful.
